In each individual classroom, the instructor will break the students into groups of 2 - 4 students depending on the individual composition and needs of the students in their respective classroom. These student will work to create a wiki page that details the natural resources and industry indicative of the area in which they live. Although each group in a classroom will essentially be researching the same information, the students will also have access to industry leaders in their area via Skype or monitored blogs. These industry contacts will be pre-approved by the instructor prior to any communication with students. Therefore, it is plausible that although the information will be similar, focus may differ based on the industry leader the students have interviewed as well as the individual direction their research may have taken them.
